Freight forwarding and logistics in West Africa
We move goods into and out of West and Central Africa, and we handle what happens between the port and the final site, which is where most shipments actually fail.

Most companies that ship to this region do not lose money on the ocean leg. They lose it on the seventy kilometres after the port, on a customs file that was incomplete, or on a haulier nobody checked. We are on that side of the chain.
GraceCorp is a Senegalese company, registered in Dakar, working with shippers, foreign freight forwarders looking for a local correspondent, mining and industrial operators, and traders buying African commodities.
Fuel supply
Diesel, gasoline, Jet A-1, CST 180 fuel oil and bitumen, supplied by GRACECORP AMD GROUP: by road tanker in West Africa from our own depots or those of our partners in Dakar, Abidjan, Lomé or Cotonou, depending on availability, and by ship to your port elsewhere in Africa from 2,000 tonnes.
Road transport and haulage
Flatbeds, tarpaulin trailers, tankers, reefers and low-loaders across Senegal, Mali, Mauritania, Guinea, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Gambia, Togo and Benin. Every carrier in our network has had its licence, registration, roadworthiness certificate and cargo insurance checked before it moves a load.
Customs clearance and transit
Import, export and inter-state transit under the ECOWAS TRIE regime. We handle the declaration, the duty assessment and the release, and we tell you what a file needs before it is lodged rather than after it is blocked.
Port operations
Container release at the Port of Dakar, heavy-lift discharge, bonded storage and onward haulage. Demurrage runs from day one, so the file is prepared before the vessel berths.
Project cargo
Out-of-gauge and heavy equipment to mining and industrial sites: route survey, abnormal-load permits, low-loaders, escort and site discharge.
Sourcing and DDP supply
We buy the goods on your behalf, arrange pre-shipment quality inspection and deliver to your door under one contract and one price.
Escort and real-time tracking
Convoy escort where value or route justifies it, and position reporting you can follow from any time zone.
